Study Proves: THIS Spice Increases Weight Loss By 3 Times

Everyone knows that losing weight and continuing to progress with your weight loss goals is a difficult process. However, there is a powder that can help jump start weight loss, as well as improve your risks of living a healthy lifestyle preventing heart disease and obesity. Luckily, this powder is easily accessible and there is also research to prove its multiple benefits.

The ‘Magical’ Powder that is Called Cumin

Cumin is often used as a spice that is grounded and used in curry powder. In grocery stores, it is sometimes pre-packaged as “chili powder” and is associated with all different types of cuisines. The powder can be paired with anything from Indian curry to tea.

The Study and Cumin

In 2015, researchers at Iran’s Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences randomly split 88 overweight or obese women into 2 groups. For a period of 3 months, both groups received nutrition counseling and decreased their daily intake of calories by 500. However, only one group was eating a little less than 1 teaspoon of cumin powder daily, swirled into 5 ounces of yogurt. To control group (non-cumin), the same amount of yogurt with no cumin was prescribed. After the three-month trial expired, participating members in the cumin group had lost on average three more pounds than those in the non-cumin group (control), totaling up to a total weight loss of thirteen pounds! In addition, the cumin group participants were successful in decreasing their body fat percentage by approximately 15%, which is three times the 5% loss produced by the control group due to the addition of the fat-burning spice cumin.
